Patients are awake for all procedures. You’ll receive local anesthesia for RFA, phlebectomy, and EVLT. Sometimes you may be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
You’ll be able to walk and go home soon after all procedures. After most treatments, a compression bandage is applied and worn for 24 hours. Walking helps to redirect the blood to healthier veins that are deeper in the leg. To speed healing and improve circulation, compression stockings are worn for two weeks following most procedures.
While in the past varicose veins were often thought of as a cosmetic issue, we now realize that more is going on beneath the surface. Varicose veins can progress to a more serious form of venous disease called chronic venous insufficiency (CVI).
Your initial consultation will take about 30 minutes. Our physician assistant (PA) conducts a full medical history, discusses your symptoms, and visually examines your legs. Then, our PA and Dr. Bellamah review all the information just gathered to determine the best treatment options for you. Dr. Bellamah will discuss these recommendations with you and answer any questions you have. He may order a diagnostic venous ultrasound, which will show the veins that are damaged and require treatment.
Bellamah Vein Center offers Pro-Nox, a patient-driven Nitrous Oxide delivery system that empowers you to safely control your pain relief and anxiety during in-office procedures.
Dr. Bellamah and his team are wonderful. Everything from the eval to getting insurance approval and scheduling my 3 surgeries was easy and painless. The surgeries were all started on-time and I was done by the time they said I’d be done. Not that I’d recommend having surgery, but if you need it, this would be my choice every time. Thanks team Bellamah!

My first visit was a couple years ago and they were just as amazing then as they were a week ago. My legs feel better and look better! They make you feel you are in good hands every step of the way. The addition of Bellemah Aesthetics is perfect. Heather took very good care of me and made sure I got the services that would best suite me.
